Shared Libraries make it even easier for you to share, edit and collaborate on assessments with your colleagues. Whether you are working alongside a co-teacher, collaborating with a group of colleagues teaching the same subject, or mentoring new educators in your learning community, Shared Libraries let your team access, co-create, and share the material you need to engage your learners more deeply - all within Showbie.

Save time searching for questions, collaborate more, and enjoy greater flexibility to customize your assessments when you share them together in one space.
​

To create a Shared Library, select '+ Join or Create Library' from the Library of your Assessments. Once selected, you will be prompted to give your new Shared Library a name and then select Create Library to create it.

Once created, your new Shared Library will be accessible from the menu on the left-hand side of the Library area, under the 'Shared' listing. As the creator, you are also the owner of the shared library and will be able to invite your colleagues to begin viewing and editing quizzes together, add content, and modify the settings of the library. This process is explained in the "Adding Members to your Shared Library" section below.

Once your Shared Library has been created, bring it to life with the content you want to share and edit with your teaching team.

To add assessments, navigate to your Shared Library. Here you will see all assessments along with any folders that have been created for an extra level of organization.

Selecting 'Add Quiz' from within your Shared Library provides you with a few options, to either create an assessment using the help of AI, import an assessment, or create from scratch. The options to Add a quiz are as follows:

To rename your Shared library go to the Settings tab, insert the desired name and click 'Update'. The name will be modified for all members.

Once you have created your Shared Library, you can invite others to join your library to access shared assessments and collaborate on content together.

To invite colleagues from within your Shared Library, tap Members and then tap Invite. You can choose to invite members as either a viewer or an editor. An invite link will be generated for you to share with invitees depending on the role you choose. Simply copy the invite link and send it. The invite link will allow your colleagues to join your Shared Library.

Once your colleagues have joined, you can view them within the 'Members' tab in your Shared Library. Here, you can manage the access level for each Member of your library by selecting the dropdown menu underneath 'Access Level.'

When removing a member from a shared library, they lose access to all quizzes in this library.

If you have been invited to join a Shared Library, you can join by clicking on the invite link shared with you or by tapping +Join or Create Library and copying the join code when prompted. If you are not signed in to Showbie you will be prompted to sign in to your account first.

As the creator of a Shared Library, you can also permanently delete it. In your Shared Library, navigate to Settings. Once there, at the bottom of the menu, you will see the option to delete your library.
